Earlier in January, Rohit Sharma scored a fifty in 1st ODI of the three-match series against Sri Lanka in Guwahati. The star batter celebrated his fifty by pointing his bat toward the sky, while mouthing a few words. Rohit's pet dog had reportedly passed away a day before this match. Many fans on Twitter claimed that Rohit dedicated his fifty to his late pet.

Meanwhile, in a video that went viral on social media, Rohit Sharma was spotted throwing 'gulaal' on his teammate, Virat Kohli. The video was posted by Shubman Gill on Instagram, showing the Indian team celebrating Holi in team bus ahead of the high-octane Ind vs Aus 4th Test in Ahmedabad.
